Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ferdinand III (Piedfort) Denier coin from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand III, who was the King of Hungary from 1649 to 1655. During this time, Hungary was facing a number of challenges, including the threat of Ottoman invasion and the struggle for power among various noble families. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the country.
